Topic: Burger King Glasses Figures!!!!!! (Read 27808 times)

It's pretty sad with all these rehashes lately,but I will probably buy them because I never got a chance to get any of those cool BK glasses. That's IF I can ever find them,considering SoCal bites as far as finding anything Star Wars around here. I agree they should make a resculpt/SA Luke X-Wing. Something along the lines of the Unleashed X-Wing Luke would be awesome with oversized removable Helmet,and alot of articulation.

I don't collect Star Wars cups so I'm thrilled with Hasbro's decision NOT to use new figures for this line. The last thing I want is another "vintage" OTC line featuring definitive figures with plastic cups for $10 each.

However, I am wondering where these will be merchandised. Will they be in the toy aisle or housewares? Maybe both? I'm thinking an endcap would be eye-catching.

Mildly interested in the cups, but like everyone else - I could give a rat's ass for more rehashed figures. I wonder if anybody will be displaying these next to the original glasses from the vintage era... I highly doubt I will.

The much uglier question, is how do carded and loose completists (like myself) deal with this crap? As much as I'd prefer to have the cups loose, I may just buy one set and leave it in it's package, 'cause I sure as crap don't want any more of these stupid figures loose!

Maybe these will hit a real nice clearance sale on down the line, and I can pick up another set for some loose cups, and ditch the figures.

yeah, the vintage glasses i have are actually in my kitchen cabinet... and guess what? i drink out of them. makes for great conversation when "new" people come over and i hand them a glass of something, and it's a jabba the hutt glass

This is a bad part on Hasbro, to me much worse then Fan's Choice #6. Why would you even think about re-hashing a figure with a glass? If you're going to do that. Can't we have some rarities thrown in. Hasbro needs a bg slap on the hand! But hey I just my buy them for the glass.

First, let me say I LOVE the Targets that have the new type of scanners lol

I scored the Figure w/Cup wave 1 Obi-Wan and Maul at the Stillwater / Oak Park Target here in MN today. There were none on the shelves, but a quick check of the DPCI # 087-06-0937 on the handy new scanners and I saw they were in stock in the backroom!

I found a helpful shelf-stocker gal and she had a case pulled from the back for me. The case pack was 2x Obi-Wan and 2x Darth Maul (4 total per case).

Some thoughts:

- $10 is a little steep for what you get, but I love the packaging and the concept. I love the look of the glasses, the little bio of the characters on them. Once I saw them in person, I decided I had to have them.

- Obi-Wan has the PotJ Obi-Wan with an Ep1 Obi Saber. Still has the little hole in his belt, but nothing to stick in it.

- Maul = pretty much the same figure as the Episode 1 version. Slight coloration change on the face tatoo, but that may just be my sample.

- The back of the packaging still shows the "removable helmet" Hoth Pilot Luke figure. I guess this is one time where the "Product and Colors may vary" disclaimer actually applies

-Overall:A- for the cups. Woulda been an A if they were glass, not plastic.C+ for the figures. While re-hashes, at least they are good versions of the characters. PotF2 Obi-Wan woulda sucked (like Luke probably will).

The stocker told me why I could not find them on the shelf. He said ALL Target stores are getting ready for a Spring Toy Reset. According to him the Star Wars section will be about double the space. I hope that means we will see spots for OTC stuff and more.

Wave 2 of the Tumblers with Figure are due out in Late March according to Target. Not sure if it will be two new sets or one new one with a repack.
